Victor Casino

Under the sky of a smile
I kept my options wild

So did she

We stared down on Las Vegas
From a jet at night

A forest of lights

A jackpot JING! JING!
Gleam of a prize

In the mirror of her eyes

Our YES!
Like a hiss

Of greasy success

Melting into a lava
Of unnavigable horror

In an air-conditioned room

A hateful glare
In the sudden sun

And I chose to run
